Ancient Guo-Lai Cache Key

Comment by Karadine

Ancient Guo-Lai Cache Key drop from Mogu mobs in the Vale of Eternal Blossoms, typically killed while doing Golden Lotus quests. Ancient Guo-Lai Cache are located in the Guo-Lai Halls (northwest Vale of Eternal Blossoms). There are several spawn points and depending on what phase of your reputation with Golden Lotus, some of the locations may be behind closed doors. Right now it appears that only 2-3 spawn points are accessible at all times, and if they aren't there for you, it may mean that someone else recently opened one (respawn timer is unknown) or they may spawned in one of the more numerous spawn points you can't reach. Early on, luck will play a factor on whether you can see one of these, until more people reach higher reputation to get to the other spawn points. Opening a Cache will complete A Taste of History.

Your first opportunity to more easily access the closed off areas is at Honored reputation only while you are on The Secrets of Guo-Lai. During this quest, you have access to the Hall of Statues.

Later when you reach Revered, you'll get a quest chain starting with Battle Spear of the Thunder King which opens all the hidden areas of the Halls and likely will see far more Caches than you have keys to open.

Comment by Mettus

Got a key right before I turned Friendly - no chests...checked again after turning friendly. Also, no chests.

So - have to be at least honored, confirmed at Revered by Karadine.

Comment by belloc

For those of you who can't find any chests, try this:

Walk up to one of the closed doors (assuming you still have low rep) and ask someone from another server to invite you to a group. As soon as you accept the invite, run forward as the door disappears. There may be another door behind it, so stay in the group until you reach it. Once you reach it, leave the group and run through again.

This is probably considered exploiting, but it is relatively harmless. Enjoy!

Comment by THunter

I can confirm the dieing behind the door and ressing on the other side works.

I'm only friendly so can access the right ring, I let the spiders kill me behind the door straight on ( I think its the Revered access one?) and ressed on the other side, then it did it again on the door past the trap area.

The chest was right there infront of me on the other side.

Got the achievement, but my chest only contained 6 lesser charms and the blue token hand in for 165 rep.

Comment by Zerel

Did anyone get key while NOT doing dailies ?Im so close to beeing honored (one relic would put me there) I decided to try farming one key so I can have shiny epic robe and gloves for tonight raid.But so far only keys i got dropped while i was doing daily, so anyone knows if they can drop while not on daily quest?

EDIT:Outside Guo-Lai is bunch of spiders today so i farmed in Golden Stair, and one key just dropepd ;]

Comment by Kenfuru

Whatever you do, do not back out of the chest before looting. Don't be a fool like me and bring your priest friend with you. You know, the one that will life grip you out of the chest... If you back out before looting, your key will be used up and you CANNOT re-open the chest as it will lock once again and you will need another key to re-open the it. For those of you who are friendly you can't see the chests. I am 5607/6000 friendly and I was able to find one. You just have bad timing if you can't find one. They are behind the doors, and to get to them you must kill yourself to walk behind them. A quick tip, when you die at the second door (because they do not spawn behind the first), the chests can be found on the bottom floor (yes there are two floors). You CAN rez on the Z-axis and accept your rez on the bottom floor. They are right under the stairs, you do not (as far as I know) have to kill the serpent dragon thing in order to find them because they wont spawn behind him. Best of luck, and remember, don't bring a priest.

Edit: Because I can't English.

Comment by Godmyster

I just got one of these keys do you get anything interesting with this?

Comment by Shweaty

Ive only seen 1 chest spawn in the main rooms, i kept seeing other people go over to the door behind the alter when the stone guardians are and pull one and just die. of course i needed to do this to see what was up. i went to get my body and kept going then went through the second set of doors (barn doors) then went all the way down stairs where Milau is located and rezed my body directly behind him but far enough away i didnt pull cause he seems pretty nasty. I do this several times a day and each time there is at least 2 chest spawned down there. last night i found 4 chest. ran out of keys.

Comment by Silvansaria

Okay so I went here to check it out. It is indeed a legit area to camp however.........................

It seems after about half an hour of camping them - the screen suddenly went black and I was transported to the Golden Pagoda.. I'm pretty sure that wasn't by design - I'm thinking a stealthed GM stepped in and transported me out. I know this is a heavily farmed area now because the drop rates are so high (in comparison to other areas I mean) so maybe GM's are starting to monitor it now...

I got one key and about 3 Motes of Harmony (and about 5 greens). I'm gonna try it again some other night and see what happens - but this is something to think about - has anyone ever had that happen before?

330am - Nordrassil server

Comment by exen

To clarify on some of the chest spawns inside the final room- I spotted two, one on the landing with 2 speedboost circles, and another right next to Milau. The chest next to her is very close, but opening it doesn't aggro if you hug the railing.

Comment by Ursamajor

GM's don't have to stealth, that is a ridiculous assumption that he teleported you anywhere..

Comment by Angeluus

So far I have noticed three spawns you can get without reaching the locked areas.

First spawn would be when you first enter the ruins you would turn right towards where the spider are when you enter that room from the entrance the cache can spawn at each side of the entrance.

The third spawn would be behind the elite spider which are easily solo'd by a Windwalker Monk.

Edit: Confirmed another can be found when you just enter at the shrine between the two first Quilen statues.

So far I've seen 4 caches that can be found without entering the locked areas.

Edit2: When you're running down into the ruins when you reach the first turn to continue go down to the right there can spawn a chest at the left side at the Mogu Statues. So far that would be 5-6 Caches that can be found in the area that are not locked for people who're not on the quests at honored and revered.

Comment by Groklin

If you go to a door, die at the door, (having a mob kill you) you can res on the other side of the door. Carry on and proceed as normal. If you go straight, you will have two doors to die at, will have to kill the dragon Milau and the chests will spawn there as well, 2 chests I believe if you kill Milau, who isn't that hard.

Nice little cheat if you don't have the rep but have the keys.

Comment by Lawkstarz

There seems to be a nerf on Cache key drop chance.. i usually loot about 3 a day but since yesterday and today i've only seen one drop.. may need to reset %tables..

Comment by cloudio

For those who are not honored/reveared with Golden Lotus and want to go further deep in Guo Lai Halls (in specific the doors on left side / infront as you enter the first hall ); you need to die about a yard of that locked door , run back as ghost and release when you are on the other side of the door. Note that you will need to hearthstone/teleport after your done.

Good luck hunting

Comment by immortaliti

Found spawn point in Hall of Statues -- first platform coming in on the right.Also coming straight in the hallway to Hall of Statues -- one spawned in the time I was writing this.Hall of Statues is your immediate right after entering the vaults.I'm at revered standing if that makes any difference.

Comment by Landonite

im actually curious as to what the % drop of this is. ive found it 2wice since ive been doing the golden lotus dalies and im now almost revered on the 2nd drop.got my frst on my frst set of dalies at neutral.

Comment by eldaanzari

IMPORTANT NOTE:

I received an Ancient Guo-Lai Cache Key today, so naturally I entered the ruins to open a cache. When I opened the cache, I earned the achievement A Taste of History. I clicked the achievement pop-up at the bottom of my screen to read the description, and my loot bag disappeared, along with the cache itself, and the key in my bag. It's very similar to the problem that people are having with moving while looting a cache. So, for anyone reading this that has a key and hasn't used it yet...

AFTER OPENING THIS CACHE, DO NOT MOVE OR CLICK ANY OTHER PART OF YOUR SCREEN UNTIL YOU HAVE LOOTED ALL THE CONTENTS OF THE CACHE.

I have a ticket open to Blizzard right now, but it's a three day wait, so I'll have to come back and edit this post after they respond.

Edit: I just got my ticket response, and as I expected, they're not restoring any items to me. Apparently they went through game logs and couldn't even find any evidence of my character even opening the cache. All the more reason to be careful, I suppose. Hopefully they fix this obvious bug soon, though.

Comment by AutomaticFrog

I opened a cache earlier today in hopes of finding something useful. I got a glance at what was in the cache for a mere second before I was, for some reason, teleported to "the Golden Pagoda". I had no chance what so ever to pick up the content in the box. I don't know what this was, perhaps a bug. But I advise anyone who opens a coffer to shift+click or enable auto-loot before opening it.

Comment by Lawkstarz

If you need a cache and lack the rep to access other areas then you can get killed next to a door and rez on the other side.. **Repeatable warning** Don't close the chest or move a muscle until you've accepted to loot everything in the chest or it will relock on you.

Comment by setari

There is nothing really important at the back of the Guo-lai halls, past the elite, there is no special chest or anything. I just died ten times trying to get there, spawned behind the spirit wall and it was all for nothing. So just pick a chest and leave while you can.

Comment by lcarnegie

I can also confirm as only friendly reputation, bloodtip did indeed have a chest behind him. As a rogue I couldn't sap him but I could indeed blind him to get the chest. I got 6 lesser charm of good fortune and a relic good for 165 rep with golden lotus

Comment by SomeChillGuy

I'm starting to believe that these keys only drop during the daily quests, not after completing them. Currently i'm 183 reputation from revered, and have spent 4 hours today farming them, and not a single one has dropped. I've gotten well over 80 motes of harmony, and two shards, but no key. Can anyone confirm/deny this possibility?

Comment by izaul

Finally found my first key, opened a cache and received 36g83s59c. With rare relic of guo-lai (165 rep) & 4 lesser charms.

Comment by Randuthayne

Regarding the comment someone made to turn on auto-loot... the problem with that is the items you loot being soulbound and requiring you to click a button to loot them. If you open the chest, you may get the blue relic, but you still have to click a button to get the epic relic and to loot the lucky charms.

Moving away from the chest before you manually click the soulbound items will close the chest.

Comment by Jayrai

I was told that these will only drop off Mogu.

Not true! :)

I've found a couple now off Quilen, inside the Guo-Lai halls.

Careful not to move before you fully loot these chests, as you don't get a second chance and the loot is forever gone. :(

Comment by toredem

This is regarding the issue people have with a chest being unlocked and then shutting a second after displaying loot (without moving), only to lock again before you can gain the BoP rep items:

Helped troubleshoot a guildy's issue by turning OFF autoloot under Interface-->controls. We remain uncertain as to why autoloot was causing the window to shut immediately (addon, glitch, no idea!), but this method resolved his problem:

It appears as if the chests are coded to act similar to a fishing node. As with fishing, you click your bobber (i.e unlock chest), yet if you move or click off anywhere else, you lose your fish (i.e. your chest rep items). Something was affecting autoloot and making it seem as if the player clicked off the window, and thus lost the loot.

If this is happening to you, go and fish with autoloot off to ensure that you can manually loot properly. Now you should be able to go back to the caches and unlock them while your loot window remains open. The fishing step is highly recommended as the first time my guildie turned off his autoloot, it did not accept the change. (In other words, it turned back on or the setting change did not take affect). The fishing test helps you to not lose your key.

Good luck!

Comment by Lvastra

Just to confirm something about everyone telling people to turn on there auto loot... It is still not a for sure thing that you will get everything from that chest even with auto-loot on for the simple fact if you get Relic of the Thunder King, Relic of Guo-Lai, and/or Lesser Charm of Good Fortune you will still have to click yes to accept one of them and then click on the other/s if you get them. So the best thing i can advise is making sure you loot these before daily reset and dont move or else you will lose loot, rep, the key and the time spent on getting the key..

Comment by KrataDaKilla

Alright I just got two keys, but I'm already exalted on my druid and seeing as how these keys are "Soulbound" it would appear that they are now a complete waste of bag space. I'm not sure if it has to do with the fact that I finished the questline in which you recieve the Epic 489 necklace once your exalted with the Golden Lotus, but I can't see any Ancient Guo-Lai Caches in the Guo-Lai Halls where I normally would find them. If anyone has any further info on this please drop a line.

Comment by Feanor2

Mages can use blink to get through these doors.

Comment by bkevol

man,, i give up,, im at honored rep, and killed exactly 286 shadowtien conquerors and fists... took me about 45 minutes and still havent got a key to drop. not one

biggest waste of time in this game ever. word of advice... just do dailys

Comment by Leat

I levelled a shadow priest to 90 to make my new raiding main, and I have a raid tomorrow. So I needed to get 90 lesser charms. I did a few dailies, got up to 30 of them, so with dailies tomorrow I'll have 60. I need 30 more so I decided to farm a couple keys. First key I get, I go open a cache, and it only has 1 lesser charm. I thought it had 6? Everyone always said they had 6. Did they hardcore nerf it? It's complete bull.

Comment by Panflute

You don't always get both rep tokens from a cache. The last one I opened I only got the blue one for 180 rep. Oh well, off to farm another one so I can get exalted.

Comment by 83Gibbo

Wanted to confirm the key drops even after you have finished all your dailies, got one off of a Shao-Tien Fist

Comment by anjan011

I m revered with golden lotus.

had 7 keys, so thought why not explore the goulai halls and see how many chests/cache i can find. in a very short amount of time i found 7 caches and got 7 relics. giving me 330 rep each. feeling extremely lucky.

just be sure to explore every corners as possible. 3 cache was behind the quest elite mobs so had to kill him 3 times to get to the cache.

Comment by Amnesticity

I've read several comments now and I must say I'm suprised that you have managed to obtain so many of these keys.I am currently 93 rep away from being Exalted with the Golden Lotus, and I've only looted 1 single Ancient Guo-Lai Cache Key. That key was found today (while being revered). I've also been extra farming these Shao-Tien monsters (for about 2 hours) with a focus on Shao-Tien Marauder. During this farm I found one Skyshard (and is the only one I've looted so far). Also I found a Daelo's Final Words from Shao-Tien Soul-Render in the vicnity. However, no key was dropped during that farm either.

I hope this post helps you to realize the drop rate of that key.

Comment by DpX008

Just so you guys know, you CAN ask kindly to a GM and he CAN restore your key.I lost my key yesterday and a GM actually helped me.Here's the ticket with the response:

Me:I was in Guo-Lai Halls and I had an Ancient Guo-Lai Cache Key. I saw an Ancient Guo-Lai Cache that I obviously opened. It dropped a Relic of the Thunder King and I didn't have the time to see the other item. I got attacked by a bunch of Ashweb Hatchling so I backed off, I couldn't loot any of the item in the Guo-Lai Cache. The chest disappeared and my key did too. I don't know if you can restore these items for me, and if you can't, just fix this for the next patch please.

GM Answer:Greetings Tankatör,

Thank you for contacting us about the issue you were seeing when using an Ancient Gou-Lai Cache Key. When something doesn't work the way it’s expected it can be frustrating; I know what you mean, I've been there too. You're in good company.

Other players have put in similar reports on this. I do have some good news for you right away though! I was able to check into this and see where the key was being used and that you weren't able to loot the chest. Considering how this went down the other items were created on this end, but I was able to send you another Ancient Gou-Lai Cache key to replace the other one =) You were able to loot the 35g though, so it's like another shot and a bit of extra gold for the any inconvenience.At the same time, I can tell you are quite passionate about this. I've gone ahead and put in a report with our Quality Assurance team to take a look at this right away. Every report helps in these cases, thank you for letting us know about this.

As a side note, we've put in a new way to report bugs directly to us. When going to make a ticket there should now be a "Bug" button over on the left. Using that button to submit the bug is a direct line to our QA and Dev teams! I am sorry about any inconvenience with this, and well do everything we can to get this sorted out so it doesn't happen in the future.

Thank you for your time and patience. You're awesome and World of Warcaft wouldn't be the same without you =)

Comment by mayonaise

Damn, I just spent the whole day AOE grinding the mobs with the highest drop rate and only got 1 key. I've always been able to farm up 5-7 in the same amount of time. I hope they didn't nerf the drop rate...

Comment by Raksharas

find the chest behind Spider :-)

Comment by lexinoz

I picked up a key today, promptly went to get the chest, found one and opened it to get an achievement.In one chest I got:1x Lesser Charm1x Relic of the Guo-Lai1x Relic of the Thunderking

Screenshot added.

Comment by kelevraman

they MASSIVELY nerfed the droprate on these. on my dk i grinded !@#$loads of them in little amounts of time(few weeks ago)on my mage i kill the same enemys at the same spot and barely ever get one key.

no, im not just unlucky on my mage, i grinded so much to be sure, that i got 6 skyshards in that amount of time and hardly 10 keys.

Comment by phoenixeternia

Just started golden lotus dailies on my hunter today. already got 2 keys. Not sure if the drop rate has been increased or not. I normally get 1 a month... fingers crossed an increase in drop ^_^

A sort of helpful comment... sort of heh

Comment by prickskytt

For you who are farming these I can tell you that it's VERY random how they drop. I've been farming for 3, yes 3 hours and I've got 11 keys and 2 Skyshards . There was a part where no key dropped for about 30 minutes and then I suddenly got 2 keys right after each other. So basicly. Don't expect a key to drop right away. It can take a looong time beafore you get one. And a tip for you with 2 or more level 90s. If you are revered on a character I suggest that you get the Grand Commendation of the Golden Lotus. That way you'll get allot more rep worth the keys! I hope that this helped you out a little! :)

Entrance to Guo-Lai Halls is at 22,26

Comment by TGFseb15

Strangely, I got one of these from a Skumblade Pillager in Troves of the Thunder King scenario.

Comment by Dunfor

I just spent an hour grinding these guys and no keys fell! This is horrible!

Comment by Nephrix

I must say that the crate/cache spawn time is something about 5 minutes, since this was the way to open 5 caches in a row spawning at the same point, down there, in a room with beefy looking Mogu, just look at your right between the column and the fence at the water :)

Comment by pandadri

I'm honored with golden lotus and have been doing the dailies non stop and I still haven't gotten any keys! Am i doing something wrong?

Comment by TheRealLink

Been doing Golden Lotus dailies for the most part of the past two weeks or so (not quite every day) and finally just got my first key off of the big patrolling statue. Cool.

Comment by sdkphoenix

These are still dropping in patch 5.4, and the caches haven't been removed.

Comment by Maelynn

I just spent nearly half an hour fighting my way through the halls, trying to find those ruddy Ancient Guo-Lai Cache. It seems they have been moved in 5.4: they are now all on display on the stage behind Milau, the dragon that can be found in the Hall of Serpents. They're guarded and positioned neatly in rows and on plateaus, as though the Mogu decided that with the events in the Vale, their treasures were not safe enough.

So if you find this key, then instead of running around inside just head straight past the central altar, through the room with the tiles and past the Ancient Door, down the ramp and down to the back of the hall. If you see a red serpent, you're almost there. :)

Comment by Kasa24

These are used to open Ancient Guo-Lai Caches, which have been moved in 5.4. There are two places these are now found - One is in the Guo-Lai vault, where you'll have to find a glowing orb while stepping on the white tiles to bring down a barrier where the Caches are, and the other is past the Hall of Tiles, down stairs and behind Milau, a red Cloud Serpent.

Comment by Effectrix

As of 5.4, these contain cooking recipes, and from my experience, each cache has a 100% chance to drop one recipe, though since I've never seen the same one twice, I'm assuming that the same recipe can drop from more than one cache for you, but you won't be able to see it, so it'll look like no recipe dropped. These recipes are:

Comment by Alexianoryuu

In my personal experience the past two days, it seems the drop rate for these has been increased slightly - however, that may also be attributed to me killing the Mogu in the nearby area of Guo-Lai Ruins much faster.The higher rate of Mogu deaths is certainly coming from me having better gear, but also from me using the Guo-Lai Runestone for the "debuff" Rune of Ascendancy since the 5.4 change to these objects in the ruins area.

Comment by amzraptor

Best Place to farm these is at the Ruins Rise.. killing Fists and Sorcerers, they have a really short re-spawn timer! Good Luck!

Comment by Miztahchipz

A final update before you read further... After spending a few days on this now, I can definitely say I believe its your luck and RNG that determine both keys and items you receive. There may be info in the following paragraphs you may find useful, but the main points imo are: 1) Primarily due to fast respawn rates inside, Guo-Lai Halls is still the best place to farm. 2) RNG is in play here and like anywhere else, you can have good days and bad in regard to the keys dropped by mobs, the actual recipes dropped by mobs, and loot in the chests.

I cleared the center room at the bottom of the main flight of stairs (including the boss, easy at i533) and had a key. Then I went to the right for more mobs and the large spider boss. All very easy and gave me 2 more keys. The trash actually respawns pretty fast.

I went back to the center room and many of the mobs respawned (not boss, they take a while longer). This time I went left as others have commented before. Now that I had 3 keys I was anxious to try my luck to get some of the new recipes. Lots more mobs all the way there and picked up 3 more keys! (6 total)

**** Update **** Unfortunately my luck ran out. After getting 3 keys on my JC within 20 kills, I opened 3 chests and then nothing, I mean nothing after 50+ kills! Even though my key drop rate sank to zero, I still like it best in the Guo-Lai Halls. Respawns are fast, fast, fast and I liked having the whole place to myself. Still need 6 more JC recipes, so I'll be going back soon! *** 2nd update *** Got nothing off 3 more keys, but 2 mobs dropeed two of the recipes I needed!

As I entered the last room, to the left was the globe to make the wall come down. A few statues may come after you, but no big deal. As mentioned by other comments, there were about 10 chests on the back wall. Inside were multiple items, some of which may include new ingredients, additional caches to open, stacks of mats (ore, leather, etc) and of course new recipes!*** update *** the globe is not always in the same place in the room, it can move day to day.

I got two recipes out of the 6 chests I opened. So I went back thru the halls again clearing mobs and then coming back to the chests. All the mobs had respawned except the bosses. I was able to collect another 5 keys which got me 3 more recipes. The best part being the next 3 were all ones I didn't have!

I decided to give it one more time. So I went back, cleared trash, got 3 more keys and came back to the chests to see if I could get the last recipe. Sure enough, I got the last one! I believe that its very possible based on my results that you won't get a duplicate recipe. RNG or luck, not sure.

** Note ** you will see bags of rice lying around as you cruise the halls. They respawn promptly as too. They are also one of the types of "fresh" ingredients. So you may want to check to see if you need some before leaving the area so can use them in a recipe before leaving the Guo-Lai Halls. Just so you don't have to come back for a while is all.

After seeing another post for JC recipes here, I plan on trying the same basic method with my JC next to see if it might work for picking up some of those elusive meta gem recipes I still need from the MoP expansion. I hope it works the same and I get all the ones I'm missing without duplicates. I'll post back if it works. Happy hunting!

**** UPDATE **** Yes, it is working for my JC. More important, the chests are giving me MoP recipes not only that I don't have, but also is continuing not to give me duplicates! So far so good, it is definitely a much better way of getting those elusive recipes you've been either missing, dreading mob farming in the rest or Pandaria or both! GOOD luck everyone!

Comment by OwlGirl

Maybe it's just RNG playing tricks. But both me and my son did not get any keys after looting Shao Tien Cage Key. I then made hubby try. No keys until he ditched Shao Tien Cage Key. After he got several cache keys. Try it. No harm done anyways as they drop a lot.

Comment by Cleavagee

Drop rate seems to have significantly increased since 5.4.

Have lewted 13 in just 1 1/2 hours.

Comment by Cakeybear

Fairly certain that the drop rate has been decreased again; Used to be able to farm 20 keys in 1 hour's time. Now, maybe 5 in 60 minutes.

Comment by FarmerJoe

The drop rate seems to skewed by RNG, the typical drop rate for me is 7 keys in 60 kills, and the 0 after that. I have found only one thing that works to get the drop rate back up is to leave the area and come back. Now this could just be coincidental luck and placebo affecting me, yet the first mob I pull after coming back always give me one or two keys while pulling 10 or 12 mobs after that will reward for lower to no reward.

Helpful tip to all:Inside drops less than outside, from my experience, so get the ones in camp. If you have a friend who is a DK or other solo killing machine class to help you farm is amazing. As a cloth mage having a DK nearby can increase your kills by huge numbers, even with shared loot.

Comment by niffboy

Comment by mentalvince

I am unsure if this has been mentioned as I only took a cursoury ctrl-f keyword search to find out, but I discovered that an inordinate amount of keys were dropping for me when I had a friend in party stick me on follow with free-for-all loot enabled. I seemed to be picking up any keys awarded to their loot - I averaged about 6 keys/30 mins (this has not been scientifically tested :) ).

Comment by Yechnagoth

Winterbough Glade seems to be the best area to farm these. Lots of mobs as well as the ones with the highest drop rate (6% according to wowhead data). They spawn fairly quickly too, depending on how fast you kill them you won't even run out of mobs. Even if you do, you can just clear the area above and come back too. This area is located just a little south of the halls entrance, on the small encampment.

Comment by RedragonAuchin

Farmed 1000 of these with a friend (2000) total.. We went for many hours everyday for 2 weeks...

Comment by ilostmahbucket

Farmed 8 in 30 minutes chasing the cooking recipes.

Comment by Gymlea

Farming Guide: Just kill anything with Shao-Tien in its name. I found that I could clear the Shao-Tien MOBs in Guo-Lai Halls and by the time I had opened the Caches they had respawned. Starting from the deepest room on the left (the one filled with statues, and which has the Treasuer Chests on the dais) I killed everything, going back through the entrance hall, and to the pool at end of the hall at the right when coming in from the stairs. I did not go up the stairs toward the entrance, nor down the hall straight across from the entrance stairs. Heading back to the Treasure Chests, the MOBs, and Treasure Chests, had respawned. Each repeat of this cycle, produced 3-6 keys.
